RP5450 don't run with 550mhz processor!

[Torsten.]

If the server works with the "old" CPU's I would assume the hardware is OK.
If the system works with 4 CPUs, I would assume it is a L2000 (not L1000 - what makes a difference related to the number of CPUs).

I would try to install each CPU in slot 0 as a single CPU to test. Probably I would try the "new" CPUs with the 360MHz speed settings.

Andrew,
Yes, I cleaned the 4 slots and the pins are ok. In the GSP it does not show me nything with the command SS.

Jesse,
The P/N of the processors is A6146A.

tkc,
I'm installing in the sequence: 0(1), 3(2), 1(3), and then 2(4).

Torsten,
It really run with 360mhz processors, but when I install 550mhz processor, does not run.

Thanks for all.

hi,

all seems very strange.

one thing to point out though is to run just one CPU you need to have processor terminator in slot 3, the second cpu slot.

if you dont have one then install 2 at a time, and try the combinations.

you wont actually get anything regarding the processors in GSP if it hasnt initialized them in the selftests first and at least nearly got to PDC.

do the error logs show anything?

and double check you've got the switches the correct way round and the correct bank! the other bank of switches disables the CPU's

hi, with the l2000 system board, the cpu speed you can achieve is 540MHz with the CPU part you have, not 550MHz. You only can achieve 550MHz in a l3000 system board.

ok, if you want the cpu part you have to work on the l2000 system board, ensure the dip switch settings are 00101. i supposed yours is now 10111.
